Research summary
Optomechanics uses light to control nanoscale motion, offers quantum-limited control over mesoscopic devices, and builds on mature techniques from cold atom physics.
My research interests cover theoretical, experimental, and application-driven areas of quantum optics and levitated optomechanics.
Biography
I studied MPhys Physics at Imperial College, London from 2000 to 2004 and then moved on to study for a PhD at Southampton University in the Quantum Control Group where I developed techniques for coherent manipulation of cold atomic gases, graduating in 2008.
Following this I worked as PostDoc in several research groups at Southampton including the Quantum Control Group (Freegarde), the Functional Optical Materials group (Kaczmarek), the Optoelectronics Research Centre (Shepherd/Richardson), and finally the Matterwave Group (Ulbricht) before taking up a Lectureship at Swansea University in December 2015.
